REMOTE KEY INITIALIZATION
The initialization of the  FZV  keys  is  required  to  establish  the  Lock/Unlock  signal
synchronization  with  the  GM.    The  initialization  procedure  provides  the  GM  with  a  key
identification number and a “rolling code” for each key.  If the initialization is not performed,
the GM will not respond to the key signals.
Up  to  4  remote  keys  can  be  initialized.    They  must  be  initialized  at  the  same  time.    Key
initialization is only possible with the vehicle unlocked.
Procedure:
1. Close all doors and have all keys available.
2. Using  key  number  1,  turn  the  ignition  switch
to KL R, then switch off within 5 seconds and
remove the first key.
3. Within  30  seconds  of  turning  the  ignition
switch  to  “off” Press and holdthe arrow
button.
4. While  holding  the  arrow  button, press and
release(“tap”) the roundel button three
timeswithin 10 seconds.
5. Release  both  buttons.    The  GM  will
immediately  lock  and  unlock  the  doors
signaling a successful initialization.
6. If  additional  keys  need  to  be  initialized  repeat
steps 3 - 5 within 30 seconds.
7. Switching the ignition to KL R completes the initialization.
SERVICE NOTE:The  key  memory  function  of  the  GM  responds  to  the  key  identification
number of each key.  If the keys are not initialized in the same order prior to initialization, the
key memory function activated by the keys will not be assigned correctly.
Always initialize the keys in the same order.

DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FUNCTION
As  with  previous  systems,  the  seat  memory  feature  of  the  SM  stores  three  seat  positions
for recall.  The positions are stored in a non-volatile  memory preventing loss of positions if
in case the SM or the battery is disconnected.
The  additional  buttons  on  the  SM  (M)  pro-
vide activation of recording memory position
and (1-2-3) for storing or recalling a specific
seat setting.
Storing current seat position:
• Seat in desired position,
• Ignition switch in KL R, 
• Press the M button until it illuminates
• Within 7 seconds press the 1,2 or 3 but-
ton to store.
The stored position can be recalled at any time by pressing the appropriate memory loca-
tion button (1-2-3).
MEMORY RECALL MODES OF OPERATION
Depending on current SM input signals via K-Bus, the memory recall operates in two dis-
tinctly different modes:
• One-touch mode (TTB),
• or press and hold mode of operation (DTB). 
If the following input signal status is current, the SM resets the seat position by a momen-
tary“one touch”of the selected memory button.
• Ignition switch off with the driver’s door open, or,
• KL R on, door open or closed
If the following input signal status is current, the SM resets the seat position by a continu-
ous  ”press and hold”of the selected memory button.
• Ignition switch off  with the driver’s door closed
• KL 15 on, door open or closed.
